Luz Aguilar Cole says on their LinkedIn page that they are a 'Financial Activist', 'Environmentalist', and 'Affordable Housing Advocate'.
Luz worked as a research study expert for Pacific Community Ventures (PCV) in Oakland, California from September 2023 to February this year and is a graduate of the University of California, Davis.
Their bio on the site says they seek 'to weave together the crossways of social, financial, and climate justice to attend to systemic concerns facing our local and worldwide community.'
Luz's employer, Councilwoman Jurado, is a noted critic of LA's cops department.
During the campaign for her council seat in 2015, Jurado was taped being inquired about abolishing police.
'What's the rap verse? F- the authorities, that's how I see 'em,' she responded.
She later on told ABC7 News: 'I estimated a lyric from a song that's become part of a bigger conversation on systemic oppression and cops accountability for decades. But it was simply a lyric ... My dedication to public safety remains as strong as ever.'
After her election to LA council district 14, Jurado was captured in another debate when she was photographed appearing to be asleep at her chamber seat during a closed February session.
Jurado told ABC7: 'It appears like I read, and if indeed I did doze off, I think this won't be the very first or last of the human moments that I have as a council member,'
